MODULE 8 — From Validation to Build Decision
Lesson 8.1: When You Are Ready to Build
Build only when:
- Behavior is repeatable
- Commitment is visible
- A narrow use case dominates
Clarity precedes code.
Lesson 8.2: What to Build First (Hint: Not Features)
Build:
- The shortest path to value
- The riskiest assumption still untested
- The smallest system that delivers outcome
Everything else is indulgence.
Final Reflection
Validation is not a hurdle.
It is the foundation.
A founder who validates properly:
- Builds less
- Learns faster
- Suffers less
- Wins more often
If your idea survives this course, it deserves execution.
